Method of controlling digital image processing apparatus for efficient reproduction and digital image processing apparatus using the method

Provided is a method of controlling a digital image processing apparatus that processes and stores an input image in a recording medium and reproduces files stored in the recording medium in a stored-image display mode. The method includes: (a) classifying the stored-image display mode into first and second modes; (b) determining whether any one of the first and second modes was selected by a user if a command to perform the stored-image display mode is input by the user; (c) displaying a latest file first if the first mode was selected; and (d) displaying a file most recently reproduced first if the second mode was selected.
